Why they delivered the car if things are missing?

I heard many months ago, that due to the carbon fiber chipping, the only exterior carbon fiber that was to be included in all Model Ss was the rear spoiler. Carbon Fiber Décor is just the interior trim pieces.

The only carbon-fiber on the exterior is the rear spoiler option.

From George B's July 12th blog post:

We have also dedicated a lot of time to reviewing the cars after each test drive event. As a result, we have identified an appearance and durability issue that we are addressing right away. The carbon fiber front lower valence and rear lower diffuser on Performance cars is not demonstrating the level of durability we had hoped for. After three Get Amped weekends, these two carbon fiber elements are showing scratches and debris chips beyond what we feel are acceptable for the amount of time the cars have been in service. Carbon fiber is known for looking good and being incredibly rigid and strong, but it’s also known for being a bit brittle and susceptible to cracking, especially if bumped into a curb or parking lot block. We are taking action on this immediately. We will be installing solid black front lower valences and rear diffusers on all Performance cars going forward. We used this same solid black material on Roadster, so we know from experience that it looks great and offers very predictable durability. The carbon fiber rear spoiler has shown no signs of wear, and will remain an option on Performance vehicles.

Ths brings up a different question, aside from the wheels and spoiler, is there currently a difference between the non performance and performance cars on the exterior?

I was told there was no difference, doesn't sound like it from George's post

I'm pretty sure there is no difference on the exterior. I opted for 19" wheels and no spoiler, and I can't see anything that would indicate that it's a Performance. There are slight differences in interior trim, and of course the touch screen identifies it as P85.
